MUSIC CENTRAL!!!

Jet · 12-11-2009, 11:46 AM

I'm a music collector; I have about 80 years worth, meaning that it spans about 80 years. The earliest cuts are Helen Morgan and Fanny Brice. I still own some vinyl although most of my music is on CD now.

I have rare white, burgandy and gold vinyl. I also have bright red vinyl in the shape of a heart; it's a Motown cut of "Pops WE Love You" dedicated to Barry Gordy.

I've been collecting since I was 15. My mother was a singer so I learned a lot early on. Music is my first love and main hobby.

I love records, the sound of the needle dropping, the background noise, the level of sound.

In my folks storage unit sits my grandparents big ass record player, 8 track player, etc. table.

They do have some old records and 8 tracks stored away, I hope in due time I will inherit this, I miss the sounds that used to come out of that big machine during the holidays and watching my grandparents dance and sing along.

One of the first songs I learned on a "real" drumset. (Not the ones I had built)

BUT, interesting (well, for any rhythm folks maybe?) that my first early kid sets were with a bass that I had constructed, but had no foot peddle to play, so I FIT IT IN MANUALLY - via hand/arm work within a song. (i.e. I was ALL over the damn place! LOL!!)

Once I got a REAL set at age 12 (or 13?) I had to learn to use the high-hat and bass - left and right feet. Wasn't real hard though, as my feet and legs apparently moved all over the place right along!

WHAT is "significant" about this song - and which for what reason I believe HELPED me at this time... was/IS that the BASS DRUM BEAT is on the "off-beat", (the up, not the down)! Now, isn't that just COOL!!!

I love it anyway!

ENJOY!

My first job was with an orchestra leader at 15. Then I went into radio at 17 and had mentor who taught me about the big bands. From then on I collect a lot of big band swing and jazz mixed with mainstream genres.

... at our house in the late 60's and early 70's. This is the first thing we heard - well Elvis, or The Ventures Christmas. My Dad always kicked off the morning by one of these two artists during these years. It was a "tradition". It was FUN!

*And my father would "sing" and dance to this too! So, we all were upbeat to start the gift unwrapping! (I have this CD now.)
